ABSTRACT:
A Marx high voltage generator with a fast rise time. Photoconductive semiconductor switches are sequentially triggered by a single laser via fiber optic bundles of different lengths. The switches serve to series connect a group of charged capacitors. Output is taken from the last capacitor which receives the voltage accumulated on all of the previous capacitors. Proper timing of the activation of each switch produces a fast rise time.
